Do you do crime for a living?

As a generally law-abiding citizen, I only really get my impressions of criminals through news reports. But it seems like there is a whole underground culture of people who make a living at online scams, extortion, drug dealing, pickpocketing... If you are one of them I would love to know more about your perspectives on life!

When I went to rehab because I was a drunk, I learned something fascinating about criminal behavior.

Most were there for drug abuse. Some were prostitutes, some were bangers. They all treated me with respect that bordered on embarrassing.

In conversation, they told me it wasn’t just the money or the drugs. It was the THRILL of the lifestyle.

@Mamapolo2016 That is so interesting! I am glad they treated you respectfully.

@ThePatientAnarchist I became well-known for the following unthought out statement.

“You are the sweetest criminals I’ve ever met.”

They laughed and hugged me.
